Billy Tobin loved and respected the land

On Friday, December 29, Billy Tobin, Camus, passed away peacefully in the company of his family at the South Tipperary General Hospital, Clonmel.

He had been ill for a short while.

A genial man of farming stock from Killeenasteena, he moved to Camus in the 1970s where he established a progressive dairy unit. His love and respect for the land were evident in his attention to detail. He was a popular, sociable and friendly neighbour and well liked by all who were fortunate to have made his acquaintance.

His remains were reposed at Devitt’s Funeral Parlour prior to their removal to the Church of Our Lady Queen, New Inn. Following Requiem Mass on Sunday, he was interred in the adjoining cemetery.
